Murray insists: It's time I became a winner, not a gallant loser

Andy Murray enters the biggest week of his tennis career declaring that being the plucky British nearly man will not be enough for him.

'For me there's not a huge difference between a fourth round and a quarter-final in a Slam,' he said.

Battle hardened: Andy Murray

'I want to try to concentrate on winning the tournament. I'm not really thinking about reaching the quarter-final, I'm more interested in making it to the final. It's almost as if you've got to view it as a new tournament and be fired up for the first ball on Monday.'
